Deuteron AP 348

1 of 86 products in this brand
Deuteron AP 348 is designed for the use in powder coatings.An important feature of Deuteron AP 348 is the low viscosity of the fusion. It is a non-polar polyethylene wax with good toughness in spite of the high hardness. Surfaces of powder coatings containing Deuteron AP 348 show a remarkable slip resistance. This effect is shown by only a few waxes.In some cases it has been noticed that the presence of Deuteron AP 348 in powder coatings improves their flow. This depends on the low softening respective melting point of this polyethylene wax and its limited compatibility with the used resins. back
